Bugs Spreading

There's
a bug amongst us, and it's made it into our home. A got it first but she's
pretty good at recovery. Then came N, with whom it tends to linger,
though he's very much on the mend. Mom got it soon after, though she
too is feeling much better. Next on the list is yours truly, and in
the end I'm fully prepared (not excited, mind you) to confront my
fate. Rather than go nuts trying to avoid it, I just accept the fact
that I'm going to get sick. It was in the fine print of my job
description. The question is, when? Every year we all get sick, and
somehow the boys get it worse. It's always during hockey season so
there's a convenient way to get a time reference. You see it plow
through the hockey team and you realize that it's going to affect
your kids, no question about it. Sort of a bummer, but what are you
going to do?

I've
been able to avoid it thus far but my time will come; mark my word,
and then you'll probably hear all about it.
